How beautiful is it to be, captivated in the stillness of the day.
When the voices, and noises around.
Seems to be in a distant land.
And the earth is at rest.
Peace.       Peace.        Peace.
A soothing effect.
A time of rest

I’ve Been Broken By
A World That’s Filled With Pain


death and hate
  and all of the things
that i can’t explain


I’ve Been Soaked For Years
just
Standing In The Rain

…

You Ask Me How I’m Doing
I’ll Say That I’m Just Fine

yeah i got a job
and the work is alright
it isn’t complicated
and i’m there all the time

and sure i’ve a got a boyfriend
he treats me real nice
i see him on the weekends
if he isn’t working nights

and sure my parents love me
they tell me quite a bit
And Maybe I Was Abused
but at least i wasn’t hit
I promise my misuse of capitalization is intentional

Yashkrit Ray
Hatred with violence
And the fear within.
Freedom from distress,
Tranquility lingering.

Only fairness,
A state of harmony.
Presence of justice -
A true symphony.

Peace is not a treaty.
It's the truth.

Billions of stars in the sky

only one close enough

is all it takes

to light up the earth.

Billions of people in the world,

only one special enough

is all it takes

to light up a heart.

L❤️VE are so beautiful
candles flicker
in a room
without a breeze
softly spoken
solitude broken
the essence of life
heated woken.

Asuka
The dragonfly hovers,
born of storm-fed ponds,
its wings catch sunlight
where shadows once drowned.

It teaches—
from fleeting rain
can rise
a life of light.
